Wedding Communications Made Easy

Do yourself a favor. When searching for wedding vendors, being able to communicate easily with them is key. In addition, one red flag could be delayed responses from a vendor.

That's why Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo created many convenient channels to communicate quickly and easily with the store. More importantly, you'll receive a quick response from your inquiry, sometimes instantaneously. And the communication will be from a real person. No chat bots, no computers!

1. Texting the store's telephone number: 215-491-8500
2. The store's Online Chat feature
3. Instagram Messenger
4. Facebook Messenger
5. WhatsApp
6. Texting from our Google Business Profile
7. Sending us an online message
8. Messaging on X @dariannabridal
9. And of course calling us

Midnight Blue Tuxedo from Marzotto

Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo added 13 new tuxedo and suits styles this year. That brings the store's offering up to 61 different styles of tuxedos and suits available for rent.

There are several new styles that we are personally excited about seeing and wearing this year but this midnight blue tuxedo is drop dead gorgeous! In fact, the co-founder of Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo told her husband, the other founder of the company, that this will be the next tuxedo he needs to wear to their next formal event. That's just how stunning this tuxedo is!

Enjoy the blog about this tuxedo called Luxurious Italian Wool Midnight Blue Tuxedo and take a listen to the podcast.

What do we like about the tuxedo?

1. The Marzotto Wool is a very luxurious stretch fabric
2. The dark navy color is unique and stunning
3. The ribbed satin lapel is beautiful and classy
4. The fit is like a custom tuxedo

What are the Wedding Color Trends for Spring?

Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo dresses a lot of brides every year. In general, brides search for their bridal gowns 6 - 12 months before the wedding. This lead time allows our staff to see the patterns and trends when it comes to colors being chosen for wedding parties. We see it in the wedding dress choices, we see it in tuxedo and suit choices and accessories and we also see the pattern when it comes to the bridesmaid dress choices. And of course, let's not forget the mother of the bride and groom dress choices.

A Little Research Goes a Long Way

We analyzed the color palette trends for spring weddings in 2024 and 2025 from our actual brides. The result was a blog we published on the data called Top Spring Wedding Color Trend Palettes for 2024 - 2025.
